Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Wischvorrichtung für die Frontscheibe von Kraftfahrzeugen, insbesondere PKW, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wiper device for the front window of Motor vehicles, in particular cars, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Es ist bei Serienfahrzeugen allgemein üblich, die Scheibenwischvorrichtung so zu konzipieren, daß Wischerarme und Wischerblätter im Ruhezustand etwa in Horizontallage im unteren Bereich der Frontscheibe, wenig oberhalb der Fronthaube, angeordnet sind. Zieht man die Möglichkeit einer Frontalkollision des Fahrzeugs mit Fußgängern in Betracht, so kommt man nicht an der Feststellung vorbei, daß die in Ruhestellung befindlichen Scheibenwischer im Kopfaufschlagbereich liegen und damit zu einer (weiteren) Gefahr für schwere Verletzungen des Fußgängers werden können.It is common practice in series vehicles to close the windshield wiper device in this way design that wiper arms and wiper blades at rest approximately in the horizontal position in the lower area of the windscreen, a little above the hood. Pulls considering the possibility of a frontal collision of the vehicle with pedestrians one cannot help but notice that those in the rest position Windshield wipers are in the head impact area and thus pose a (further) danger to serious injuries to the pedestrian can occur.
Basierend auf dieser Erkenntnis und in dem Bestreben, die von Kraftfahrzeugen ausgehende Verletzungsgefahr für Fußgänger zu minimieren, ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Verletzung der Fußgänger durch die Frontscheiben-Wischvorrichtung nach Möglichkeit zu vermeiden.Based on this knowledge and in the endeavor that emanate from motor vehicles To minimize the risk of injury to pedestrians, it is the task of the present Invention, an injury to pedestrians by the windshield wiper after Way to avoid.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe bei einer Wischvorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, the task in a wiping device of the type mentioned Art solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Durch die versenkte Anordnung der in Ruhestellung befindlichen Scheibenwischer wird im Falle einer Kollision des Fahrzeugs mit einem Fußgänger eine direkte Berührung des letzteren mit dem Wischerblatt und/oder dem Wischerarm, beides vergleichsweise scharfkantige und damit verletzungsintensive Gegenstände, vorteilhaft ausgeschlossen.Due to the recessed arrangement of the windshield wipers in the inoperative position In the event of a collision between the vehicle and a pedestrian, direct contact with the the latter with the wiper blade and / or the wiper arm, both comparatively sharp-edged and therefore injury-intensive objects, advantageously excluded.
Bei bekannten Serienfahrzeugen liegen häufig auch die Antriebswellen der Scheibenwischer oberhalb der Fronthaubenkonturen und damit im Kopfaufschlagbereich. Um auch die hierdurch bedingte Verletzungsgefahr zu beseitigen, wird in Ausgestaltung des Grundgedankens der Erfindung die aus Patentanspruch 2 entnehmbare Maßnahme vorgeschlagen.In known series vehicles, the drive shafts of the windshield wipers are also often located above the bonnet contours and thus in the head impact area. To also the eliminating the risk of injury caused by this is in the design of the Basic idea of the invention, the measure that can be taken from claim 2 suggested.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind auch den Patentansprüchen 3-5 zu entnehmen. Die betreffenden Merkmale erleichtern - in Parkstellung des Fahrzeugs - eine gegebenenfalls erforderliche Säuberung und/oder Enteisung der Wischerblätter bei entsprechend niedrigen Außentemperaturen.Advantageous developments of the invention are also to claims 3-5 remove. The relevant features make it easier - when the vehicle is parked if necessary, cleaning and / or defrosting of the wiper blades correspondingly low outside temperatures.
Die Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung anhand eines im folgenden detailliert beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiels veranschaulicht.The invention is illustrated in the drawing with reference to one in the following Exemplary embodiment illustrated.
Es zeigt:It shows:
Fig. 1 einen PKW in Frontansicht, bei dem die Scheibenwischer innerhalb der Konturen der Motorhaube liegen, und Fig. 1 shows a car in front view, in which the wipers are within the contours of the hood, and
Fig. 2 den PKW in Darstellung entsprechend Fig. 1, wobei die Wischerblätter der Scheibenwischer noch im Bereich der Frontscheibe angeordnet sind. Fig. 2 shows the car in accordance with Fig. 1, the wiper blades of the wipers are still arranged in the region of the front window.
Es bezeichnet 10 insgesamt einen PKW. Mit 11, 12 sind die Vorderräder, mit 13 die Fronthaube (z. B. Motorhaube, wenn der Motor vorne ist), mit 14, 15 zwei Frontscheinwerfer, mit 16 ein vorderer Stoßfänger und mit 17 die Frontscheibe (Windschutzscheibe) des Fahrzeugs beziffert.It designates 10 in total one car. With 11 , 12 the front wheels, with 13 the front hood (e.g. bonnet if the engine is in front), with 14 , 15 two headlights, with 16 a front bumper and with 17 the windscreen of the vehicle.
Im Bereich der Frontscheibe 17 sind zwei Scheibenwischer 18, 19 vorgesehen, die - in üblicher Weise - jeweils aus Wischerarm 20 und Wischerblatt 21 bestehen. Die Wischerarme 20 und damit auch die Wischerblätter 21 der Scheibenwischer 18, 19 können- wie ebenfalls grundsätzlich bekannt - jeweils durch einen elektromotorisch betriebenen Wischerantrieb 22 in eine hin- und hergehende Bewegung versetzt werden.In the area of the front screen 17 , two wipers 18 , 19 are provided, each of which - in the usual way - consist of wiper arm 20 and wiper blade 21 . The wiper arms 20 and thus also the wiper blades 21 of the windshield wipers 18 , 19 can - as is also known in principle - be set in a reciprocating movement by an electric motor-operated wiper drive 22 .
Die Besonderheit der vorstehend beschriebenen Frontscheiben-Wischvorrichtung besteht darin, daß die Scheibenwischer 18, 19 in eine Ruhestellung bewegt werden können, in der sie, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, innerhalb der Konturen der Fronthaube 13 und damit zugleich außerhalb des Frontscheibenbereichs 17 zu liegen kommen. Der Grenz- bzw. Übergangsbereich zwischen Frontscheibe 17 und Fronthaube 13 ist mit 23 bezeichnet. Die Scheibenwischer 18, 19, einschließlich ihres Antriebs 22, sind hierbei in entsprechenden Vertiefungen oder Aussparungen (nicht gezeigt) im Übergangsbereich 23 zwischen Frontscheibe 17 und Fronthaube 13 versenkt angeordnet. Das bedeutet, daß sie bei eventuellen Frontalkollisionen des Fahrzeugs mit Fußgängern keine (zusätzliche) Verletzungsgefahr für diese mehr darstellen.The special feature of the windshield wiper device described above is that the windshield wipers 18 , 19 can be moved into a rest position, in which, as shown in FIG. 1, they come to lie within the contours of the front hood 13 and thus at the same time outside the windshield region 17 . The boundary or transition area between the front screen 17 and the front hood 13 is designated by 23 . The windshield wipers 18 , 19 , including their drive 22 , are in this case recessed in corresponding recesses or cutouts (not shown) in the transition region 23 between the windshield 17 and the front hood 13 . This means that they do not pose any (additional) risk of injury to pedestrians in the event of a frontal collision of the vehicle with pedestrians.
Aus dem im vorstehenden Gesagten folgt auch, daß die aus Fig. 1 ersichtliche spezielle Ruhestellung der Scheibenwischer 18, 19 in erster Linie bei in Bewegung befindlichem Fahrzeug erforderlich und zweckmäßig ist. In Parkstellung des Fahrzeugs kann dagegen eine aus Fig. 2 hervorgehende Ruhestellung der Scheibenwischer 18, 19 zweckmäßiger sein, bei der zumindest die Wischerblätter 21 noch im Bereich der Frontscheibe 17 liegen und damit für Reinigungs- und/oder Enteisungszwecke gut zugänglich sind.From what has been said above, it also follows that the special rest position of the windshield wipers 18 , 19 shown in FIG. 1 is primarily necessary and expedient when the vehicle is in motion. In the parked position of the vehicle, on the other hand, a rest position of the windshield wipers 18 , 19 as shown in FIG. 2 may be more expedient, in which at least the wiper blades 21 are still in the region of the windshield 17 and are therefore easily accessible for cleaning and / or deicing purposes.
Die beiden alternativen Ruhestellungen der Scheibenwischer 18, 19 - einmal im Bewegungszustand des Fahrzeugs (siehe Fig. 1), zum anderen in Parkstellung des Fahrzeugs (siehe Fig. 2) - sollten automatisch steuerbar sein. Dies kann z. B. dadurch geschehen, daß Wischerarm 20 und Wischerblatt 21 durch das Herausziehen des Zündschlüssels in eine Position bewegbar sind, in der das Wischerblatt 21 außerhalb der Konturen der Fronthaube 13 und oberhalb des unteren Frontscheibenrandes 23 zu liegen kommt. Werden die Scheibenwischer 18, 19 dagegen während der Fahrt abgestellt oder wird das Fahrzeug aus der Parkstellung heraus in Betrieb genommen, so muß durch die betreffende Steuerung gewährleistet sein, daß sich die Scheibenwischer 18, 19 in die Ruhestellung gemäß Fig. 1 bewegen, in der sie sich versenkt innerhalb der Konturen der Fronthaube 13 befinden und somit keine (zusätzliche) Verletzungsgefahr für Fußgänger mehr bilden können.The two alternative rest positions of the windshield wipers 18 , 19 - firstly in the state of motion of the vehicle (see FIG. 1) and secondly in the parked position of the vehicle (see FIG. 2) - should be controllable automatically. This can e.g. B. happen that wiper arm 20 and wiper blade 21 can be moved by pulling out the ignition key in a position in which the wiper blade 21 comes to lie outside the contours of the front hood 13 and above the lower edge of the windshield 23 . If, on the other hand, the windshield wipers 18 , 19 are parked while driving or the vehicle is put into operation from the parking position, the control in question must ensure that the windshield wipers 18 , 19 move into the rest position according to FIG. 1 in which they are sunk inside the contours of the bonnet 13 and can therefore no longer pose any (additional) risk of injury to pedestrians.
Weiterhin sollte der Wischerantrieb 22 bei herausgezogenem Zündschlüssel durch ein temperaturabhängiges Steuerelement betätigbar sein, derart, daß nur bei Unterschreiten einer vorgegebenen Außentemperatur, vorzugsweise bei weniger als 3°C, das Wischerblatt 21 in eine Position außerhalb der Konturen der Fronthaube 13 und oberhalb des unteren Frontscheibenrandes 23 bewegbar ist (siehe Fig. 2). Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß die Wischerblätter 21 im Bedarfsfall, d. h. bei winterlichen Verhältnissen, gegebenenfalls enteist werden können.Furthermore, the wiper drive 22 should be operable when the ignition key is pulled out by a temperature-dependent control element, such that the wiper blade 21 is only in a position outside the contours of the front hood 13 and above the lower front window edge when the temperature falls below a predetermined outside temperature, preferably at less than 3 ° C. 23 is movable (see Fig. 2). This ensures that the wiper blades 21 can be defrosted if necessary, ie in winter conditions.
